OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
COMMISSIONING
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Initially set the input to 4. If the heater does not maintain a satisfactory room
temperature the following day this setting should be increased. Conversely
if the room temperature is too high this setting should be reduced.
The input control should only require seasonal adjustments.
THE OUTPUT CONTROL
THE INPUT CONTROL
Most of the stored heat is radiated from the casing during the discharge
period. However, some of the heat is emitted through the grille at the top
of the heater and this additional heat (or boost) is regulated by the Output
Control.
With this set to 6 the boost begins in the early afternoon. Turning the control
towards 1 will progressively delay the commencement of the boost. At 3
the boost will start in the evening. Once set, the boost will repeat itself
automatically day after day.
If no boost is required e.g. when the room will be unoccupied for a long
period, set the Output Control to 1. With the control in this position, the
heater will take in less energy during the next charging up period.
CONVECTOR HEATER CONTROLS
The convector is selected by an on/off rocker switch which illuminates when
switched on ‘1’. With the switch on, the convector element shall be cycled
on and off by the room thermostat. With the switch off “0” the convector
will not run. The room thermostat knob is marked 1 to 5. The higher the
level at which the room temperature will be controlled.
To maintain the appearance of the heater wipe occasionally
with a dry cloth when the heater is cool.
Do not use abrasive powders of furniture polish.
Discoloration of wall finished can sometimes occur
immediately above storage heater due to the properties of
some paints and decorating materials or in the presence of
environmental impurities in the air (such as soot or incense
generated from the burning of candles, etc.)

OPERATION
Your XMC(N) heater combines the economy of a storage heater
with the convenience of a convector heater.
The storage heater takes in energy, when electricity tariffs are
low and dissipates it when tariffs are normal.
The convector heater provides an instant boost on demand
from normal tariff electricity.
1. Ventilate rooms well during commissioning.
2. Do not move the heater in any way once installed without the services
of a competent electrician.
3. Do not cover the heater with clothing etc. at any time or position furniture
close to or against the heater.
4. Ensure a clearance of at least 150mm between heaters and
curtains.
5. Should your heater fail to operate either employ the services of a
competent electrician or Telephone 0845 600 5111.
